Progress reports were passed out today (for my class only). Each student was given one with their current grade so they can determine whether they want to retake their Vocabulary Test on Thursday. Please see the information about the retake at the end of this blog post.

Today we read an article about whether middle schoolers need recess and we worked with a partner to create a Pro/Con list and answer text dependent question. Tomorrow we will be having a class discussion using these questions as our guide. These are homework if you did not complete in class today!

Have a great evening!

There will be assignment they will work on with their tutor that they must bring with them to the retake session (This is non-negotiable! If you don’t attend this you cannot take the retake. Tutoring sessions help you STUDY and Ask Questions so  you can better understand!! Remember your retake score is your final score!)
